Programs for the prediction of 3-D stracture usually use available protein domains from PDB see Table 1.1) as templates. Tools that are nsually used include SWISS-MODEL see Table 1.1). The query result includes the template used, the ahgnment between the query sequence and the template, and the predicted 3-D model.

EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database. SWISS-PROT consists of core sequence data with minimal redundancy, citation and extensive annotations including protein function, post-translational modifications, domain sites, protein structural information, diseases associated with protein deficiencies and variants. SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL are available at EBI site, http //www.ebi.ac.uk/swissprot/, and ExPASy site, http //www.expasy.ch/sprot/. From the SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL page of ExPASy site, click Full text search (under Access to SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL) to open the search page (Figure 11.3). Enter the keyword string (use Boolean expression if required), check SWISS-PROT box, and click the Submit button. Select the desired entry from the returned list to view the annotated sequence data in Swiss-Prot format. An output in the fasta format can be requested. Links to BLAST, feature table, some ExPASy proteomic tools (e.g., Compute pI/Mw, ProtParam, ProfileScan, ProtScale, PeptideMass, ScanProsite), and structure (SWISS-MODEL) are provided on the page. 

Save the trial structure (File -> Save -> Layer) as trialmol.pdb, which can be submitted to Swiss-Model (http //www.expasy.ch/swissmod/) using Optimise (project) mode for optimization.

Use the SWISS-MODEL (9) to build possible protein structures for these genes dock potential broad-spectrum antibiotics candidates to the active sites with AutoDock (10) and use molecular dynamics simulations to research possible binding modes between antibiotics and target proteins (11). 

Go to the SWISS-MODEL Web site (http //www.swissmodel. expasy.org), select Automated Mode, input the e-mail address and the amino acid sequence of the protein retrieved from the Protein Information table, and click Submit Modeling Request to build target protein structure.

Fig. 1. Comparison of the three-dimensional structures of human Interleukin-8 (green) MCP-1 (blue) and Fractalkine (EST Z44443) (red). The 11-8 structure is taken from the Protein Database (PDB) entry (1IL8), and the MCP-1 structure is a model built of the NMR structure of MI P-l (> (PDB entry 1HUM). The intrachain disulfide bonds are shown in yellow. The model for the chemokine domain of Fractalkine was built using the SwissModel server (16,17). As can be seen the three structures show a large degree of conservation of the overall structure, despite a relatively low level of primary sequence identity. The additional three amino acids in Fractalkine are accommodated as a 310 helix between the two N-terminal cysteines. The steric requirements here presumably forbid a CX2C motif.
